Am I the only one looking forward to having Enemy Sub encounters?
Since the neccesary AI is in there, we just need the modles, somthing modders can do if the devs dont have time.
Now to balance this the watch crew need to beable spot inbound torpedo wakes & periscopes. (technically as simple as implementing sensors for spotting a ship or aircraft -at X amount meters)
IF an AI sub managed to sneak up on you while you were surfaced and thow some eels your way - you would have split seconds to manouver your boat out of harms way.
That would so terrifiyingly awesome!
Something that will send REAL fear though your veins.
Before you scream in horror at the prospect of this being an unavoidable INSTA-Death.
Think!
In order to end up in the firing line of undetected Allied Sub, you'd have to be VERY unlucky indeed.
Like the Uboats Allied subs have to travel everywhere surfaced (so you will probably spot them before they dive), and they too were pain-staking slow while submerged.
So it would be theoretically very difficult for one to actually intercept you while you are surfaced (undetected) As you're are moving at twice their submerged speed.
